Medical Volunteering in Peru
My Travel Story
I am a Paramedic and will be travelling in August to become a part of a team and use my medical skills to help improve access to quality healthcare for individuals who may not be able to obtain it otherwise.
This program involves working in hospitals, clinics for low-income communities and assisted living facilities. These facilities are often underfunded and understaffed so medical and healthcare volunteers are an important source of assistance for local doctors and nurses and help to improve access to these vital health services for local people.
I am passionate about this project as I believe that access to quality healthcare should be a right and not a privilege. This project is working to help close this gap.
By learning about the conditions of the healthcare system in Peru, I will be able to gain experience surrounding the issue regarding unequal healthcare. From there I can then use that experience to expand my education and continue with future missions to make an even more meaningful impact in fighting for human rights within healthcare. Knowledge is power!
